The "men can't be expected to live this way; let's bend the rules"

Which rules are those? It seems the heart of the debate whether God actually has a rule that men are better off celibate, and that marriage is a lower form of existance.

We can argue that point, but your summary begs the question, assuming the rightness of your side.

Of course, it was Paul who made the argument you seem to ridicule.

The ones which Catholic priests have, by their own vow, voluntarily accepted?

Yeah, that's an impossible rule for God to have. Just like that terrible Romanist interpolation in the Book of Revelations, Chapter 14, verse 4. (/sarcasm)

These are they who were not defiled with women: for they are virgins.
